thatch roofing
Woven grass covering
Thatch roofing is a traditional method of covering buildings with dried plant materials—typically straw, reeds, or palm leaves—bundled and layered to shed water.
The technique dates back thousands of years and remains common in parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Thatch roofs are prized for their rustic appearance and natural insulation, though they require regular maintenance and carry fire risk.
